Double Banana Pie Krispie Treats #SundaySupper

Sometimes I'm amused by the food "jags" I go on as a cook. Usually it's because I'll be fixated on one ingredient, trying to use up the last of a bag or carton or what have you, and I'll be inspired by so many things (spotted on Pinterest, food photo feeds, TV and even in magazines and books) that I wind up buying more of that key ingredient to try as many as I can!

This happened to me most recently with my bag of brown rice cereal. I had a tiny bit left over from the Grown - Up Crispy Treats and was browsing my way around the 'net when all my senses were struck dumb by Mallow and Co.'s Chocolate Covered Banana Rice Krispy Treats. Even though I'm not a fan of banana pudding (my dad ironically loves it, especially mixed with butterscotch), I love the idea of melding the crisp airiness of the standard cereal with the creamy custard mix, and topping it all with a thick schmear of chocolate never hurts. For a bit of extra texture and flavour, I tossed in some home-dried bananas, and wound up thinning the marshmallow mixture with a splash of milk (not surprising, since my marshmallows were rather dried-out). Spread thick with a milk chocolate coating, they looked every bit as innocuous as their standard Krispie cousins - but the first bite screams otherwise! They're sophisticated enough for adults but simple enough for the youngest child, bringing everyone together for the experience.

How do you like to add crispy crunch to your lunch (or supper)?

Double Banana Pie Krispie Treats
Makes one 9" pan, 12 pieces
⅓ cup non-hydrogenated shortening
10 ½ oz marshmallows (6 cups mini)
1 (4-serving size) instant banana pudding mix
¼ cup whole milk
1 tbsp vanilla
pinch nutmeg
½ tsp salt
4.5 oz (6 cups) brown rice crisp cereal
¼ cup diced dehydrated bananas
140g milk chocolate (I used Callebaut)
1 tbsp coconut oil

1. Melt the shortening in a saucepan and add the marshmallows.
2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until the marshmallows are mostly melted.
3. Stir in the banana pudding, milk, vanilla, nutmeg and salt until the marshmallows are fully melted.
4. Remove from the heat and add the cereal and bananas, stirring to combine.
5. Press into a greased 9" pan, then allow them to cool at least an hour.
6. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a small dish, and using an offset palette knife or spatula spread an even layer on top of the cooled bars. Top with crushed banana chips if desired (I didn't have any otherwise I would have!).
